Pat,
Biking in Texas also means you will want to stay comfortable and cool.
In my experience living in Texas, a messenger bag was less comfortable
and the way it lay on my back kept me too hot. I finally bought a Vaude
Siena backpack. The pack has a suspension system that creates an air
space between you and the load. I was surprised how well it worked and
how much cooler I remained. You might look into one as a viable
alternative to a messenger bag.
